Yesterday I posted some older articles about The Tax-Cut Deal. I'm still making it through a backlog of reading but here's an updated view of the "deal chart" by Mike Konczal who says it should look like this:

"This involves moving two items. The first is the Child Tax Credit. From the Republican Pledge To America (pdf), the Republicans both take credit for the creation of the child tax credit and note the damage that will happen if it isn’t extended...The second is more interesting: Should the payroll tax cut be a “get” for the Republican Party?... I’m going to argue five points that the payroll tax cut should be considered a GOP 'get'."
